Fifteen days after Thanksgiving seems like as good a time as any to share a this step-by-step tutorial on how to make Pumpkin Pie! Or stuffing. I'm not 100%
1.
Dress up for your Thanksgiving meal. I decided
on Juicy sweatpants, fuzzy slippers and a shirt that is ambiguous on whether or not
you are wearing a bra, because I am a classy woman.
2.
Start by finding a recipe for Pumpkin Pie,
because you walked in to this prepared. Side note: Turkey will be done in like
35 minutes. Timing.
3.
Forget that you did not buy pre-made crust. Curse
Self.
4.
Take first recipe you find off Google search. Make Laura smash graham crackers. She is a good helper.
5.
Feel ingenious for buying cinnamon graham
crackers instead of lame, regular kind of graham cracker. That’s gunna be good. Your cooking is
so inventive. Way to be.
6.
Before you even start the pie, get distracted by the fact you
haven’t made stuffing yet. Take care of that real quick.
7.
Get distracted again by the idea of making
spiced eggnog.
8.
“Basic bitches love spiced eggnog” – Laura
Kellum
9.
Drink rose. Basic bitches also love Rose.
Embrace it. You’re wearing juicy sweatpants. THANKSGIVING IS NOT A TIME FOR
JUDGEMENT.
10. Realize
you don’t have a springform pan. Worry about this later.
11. You
have none of the ingredients for your stuffing, which is literally just an
onion and some chicken stock. Things are looking grave.
12. Try
to melt butter in microwave. It makes a very concerning smell. Make Beard melt
it on the stove instead.
13. Is
this butter for the pie or stuffing? Not sure. Mull it over with some wine.
14. Finish
glass of rose. Be drunk immediately because it’s the only thing you’ve had to eat/drink
today.
15. Encounter
first of many problems.
16. Lost
1/3 cup measure. Everything in this recipe is in 1/3 cup measurements. Just eyeball it.
17. This
pie is going to take three hours. Dinner is in like 20 minutes.
18. Get
distracted by skyping with parents. Laura Kellum secretly does the dishes,
because she has a cleaning problem. See photo evidence below:

19. Dinner
will be ready in 10 minutes. There
is no pie. Panic.
20. So
much more distraction, lose track of blog post. The stuffing is also not
ready. Dinner is in 5 minutes.
21. Throw
all ingredients into Kitchen Aid Mixer in no particular order and blend. For
the pie, not the stuffing. Wait, what are we making?
22. More
panic. Beard saves the day by using turkey juices to make stuffing. Laura
Kellum saves day by actually staying on task and making pie.
23. Hey,
this looks right!

24. Put
pie in the oven.
25. Stuff
face with delicious turkey and take credit for delicious stuffing you did not
actively participate in making.
26. Pie
will take like 25 minutes longer than recipe declares it will. Take it out
every three minutes to poke it with a toothpick, and then exclaim “How is this
not done yet!?” This ensures thorough cooking.
27. Wait
for pie to COOL?! (like people have time for that, I mean, really.)
28. After
using extent of willpower to wait for pie, (25 minutes) break and eat it
slightly warm pie. It is delicious. Waiting is for chumps.
29. Enjoy rest of Thanksgiving. Be thankful
for friends who stop by and don’t judge you for being drunk and wearing pajamas
while it’s still daylight. You guys know who you are.
